Lifelong Learning Account Guidance

Paragraph 15 of the Skills Funding Agency’s Update Issue 100 (21 March 2012) provides information for providers and others in the further education learning and skills sector as follows:

As communicated in Update 76 (28 September 2011), a Lifelong Learning Account is a free online service, available from the Next Step website, that offers greater flexibility, control and choice for skills and learning development in a single, easily accessible location.

The introduction and promotion of the Lifelong Learning Account to individuals is seen as essential for learning providers and the Next Step service (National Careers Service from April 2012).

The following guidance documents have been updated recently:
• Learning Provider Quick Guide to Lifelong Learning Accounts
• Lifelong Learning Accounts FAQs
• Next Step Adviser Quick Guide to Lifelong Learning Accounts.

All of the guidance documents are available from the Lifelong Learning Account section of the Skills Funding Agency website.
